Title: System and method for cooling at least one heat-producing device in an aircraft
Inventor: MUEHLTHALER GEORG
IPC: B64D13/06
Filed: 2010-08-31
Abstract: A system (2) for cooling at least one heat-producing device (4) in an aircraft has at least one coolant circuit. A coolant absorbs heat from the heat-producing device (4), and dissipates heat via a heat dissipation apparatus (8) to the area surrounding the aircraft. A temperature spreading apparatus (14) reduces the temperature of the coolant in an inlet (10) of the coolant circuit, and increases the heat dissipation temperature of the heat dissipation apparatus (8) in comparison to the temperature of the coolant in an outlet (12) of the coolant circuit. This makes it possible to avoid the normal ram-air channels or systems which consume precooled air in the prior art, which make avionics cooling or the like difficult, particularly when the aircraft is on the ground on hot days.

Title: Control of the converter process by means of exhaust gas signals
Inventor: REICHEL JOHANN
IPC: C21C5/30
Filed: 2010-12-14
Abstract: Modern steel production processes require precise knowledge of the current composition and temperature of the liquid metal being processed. In particular during steel production in a converter, high match rates for final carbon content and bath temperature are required. Quantitatively precise blowing of oxygen corresponding to the final target carbon content, and the metal temperature, are decisive factors affecting the economic efficiency of the process and the quality of the steel produced. In order to allow relatively precise process monitoring, various processes and procedures are known, the application thereof being based on measuring exhaust gas composition and on mass flow balances. All models work at an exactness that depends on the precision of the input data, particularly with respect to the weight data of the raw materials and the chemical properties of the metal used. In order to allow control of the converter process for producing steel independently of the predefined process model, in particular when blowing oxygen, the invention proposes that detected values for the critical decoking point (t'crit) and for the end of O2-blowing (t'EoB) are obtained by means of a submodel operating as a process monitor based on the exhaust gas analysis and independent of the process model, by sensibly combining the constituent signals obtained, by means of which values the oxygen content predicted by the process model is corrected at the start of the process and matched to the actual conditions near the end of the decoking period.

Title: Wireless physiology monitor
Inventor: MARGON KEN
IPC: G16H40/67
Filed: 2010-02-25
Abstract: The present invention provides a new non- invasive technique for organ, e.g., heart and lung, monitoring. In at least one embodiment of the invention, a subject is radiated with a non-harmful and relatively low power electromagnetic source diagnostic signal normally associated with a communications protocol such as, but not limited to a version of the IEEE 802.11(x) family of protocols in the 2.4, 3.6, or 5 GHz spectrum bands. After passing through the patient, a return signal is acquired from the patient and compared to the original source signal. The differences between the source and modified signals are then analyzed to monitor the heart, e.g., measure heart rate and detect defects within the heart, and the lung. For example, using Doppler Effect principles, heart rate and motion can be measured from the differences in frequency, phase, and/or wavelength between the source signal and the modified signal reflected back from the heart moving within the patient.
